Funniest video of the day. Maybe the week. Froma Harrop is a journalist, head of the National Conference of Editorial Writers’s Civility Project, in fact. Jon Stewart reveals that she’s both unintelligent and, dare we say it, uncivil. Watch. Laugh.

  • " Keep your own morals low, then you will not break them, or offend others."

    So that's why they do that? I thought it was just more fun.

    • This was the key to Bill Clinton's success.

      So many in the electorate apparently identifying with him meant he never had to say he was sorry.

  • She wants the Right to stop bringing facts into the discussion....It causes the Left to go bonkers! Her "Civility" would include censorship and the lefts 'right' to continue to use Saul Alinski's Rules for Radicals:

    Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals…tactics to use against the Right (whether or not they are correct).
    • Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.
    • Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people. The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
    • Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat. (Even if you have to lie).
    • Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.” Keep your own morals low, then you will not break them, or offend others.
    • Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
    • Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
    • Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
    • Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”
    • Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.
    • Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”
    • Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
    According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.

  • Stupid is as stupid does I guess. Let me guess, she got her start at the New York Times.

  • And as editorial writers, these dopes are basically paid for their opinions, i.e. they're paid "to think." You'd think if newspapers were going to pay someone to think, they'd actually look for somebody who knew how.

  • I thought this was a joke but I looked her up and she's for real! Holy cow, what a moron... but you have to give Stewart credit where credit is due. BTW did you that his brother, Larry Leibowitz (not Horowitz) is a bigwig (a really big bigwig) at the NYSE?

    • I guess I mixed up the 'witzes'. Not as serious an offense as calling himself stewart, more like stewpid.

    • "Mr. Leibowitz was appointed Chief Operating Officer in the first quarter of 2010. In this capacity, he is responsible for operations management, global cash execution..."

      global cash execution, so he's the responsible one eh? he did a good job.

      • global cash execution - is that when they line up the global cash in front of a wall and shoot it? I think that was all the rage in Greece recently.

  • Liberals have a serious problem with "do as I say, not as I do". The problem is they are too dumb to understand that what may work with a child does not work at all when dealing with thinking adults. And that is what pisses them off most of all.

  • Horowitz occasionally allows something worth watching on his otherwise shrill left wing campaign outlet. This definitely qualifies.

    Irony of ironies, fatass ed schultz called Rush Limbaugh fat?

  • Stewart is a fool if his mouth is actually where his heart is.

    in other news, my surgery for cochlear implantation is scheduled for Jan. 27th.

    I'll be a cyborg for my son's b-day! :D
